I tried to partition my new 1GB-MMC in 2 partitions (as described in http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ExtendedRootFilesystem an the links inside
)

After deleting the old partition i have about 1027 MB free space. When i make a FAT16-Partition with 640 MB, cfdisk doesnt show any free space, and i cant make a second partition from the rest.

Whats wrong?
How can i create a second partition on my card?

Another Question: What size do you recommend for the rootfs-partition on the MMC?

Hi.
The screen is to small (only one line to show partitions), use the down button to scroll down and be able to see the line with the free space.

Thanks for the tip. Hope it works

Did you install beta 2006 ?
=> cfdisk was coming from extrootfs ?

I'm interested to know if you can use mkfs.vfat from beta 2006,
see my post about the problem I have


Thank you,
Laurent.

In the meantime i installed OS2006(beta). With this extrootfs can no longer be installed. So i didnt try to format my partitions
